The point is Slam Dunk might want to play their cards early to sell more tickets before the Download announcement because if Download announce Green Day, Jimmy Eat World, Yellowcard, Frank Turner, Beartooth and someone like Pierce The Veil or Avril Lavigne someone may choose to go Download over Slam Dunk.

 

I don't see that it matters as they are completely different weekends. We already know Slam Dunk aren't getting Green Day, JEW, Beartooth, Yellow Card played in 23 and they aren't regulars. Frank and PTV are the only one's and I'd say the latter would already be on the poster.

Of course it matters, if someone is looking to go to Slam Dunk or Download, Slam Dunk release the lineup might just push some more sales pre Download before people potentially commit to that instead.

I wouldn't really myself look at that Slam Dunk lineup and think of if Download announced any of those bands don't go to Slam Dunk anymore. Different festivals on the whole.

Plenty of people might though. You're one person.

 

And if I never seen Slam Dunk as an annual journey, it could definitely sway me as I like to do a camping festival each year.

Your are right, these days I'd probably ideally prefer an option of not camping and that's why I think Slam Dunks work well as a go in see the bands, bed at the end with shower and home. Glastonbury is a bit different and I only bought my new tent last year but it wouldn't bother me that much to not do a camping festival again...just it's unavoidable sometimes.
